Product Information

[1 Year Protection for Up to 3 PCs Per Household]

Wouldn’t it be great to have total computer security with one product? Wouldn’t it be reassuring that you are always protected from online threats and that your data is backed up automatically, all that while your PC performs at its best? With all the software out there, it can be confusing trying to determine what you need. Once you are past that step, making your programs work together seamlessly is yet another story.

• Protects you against viruses, spyware, hackers, phishing, botnets and more
• Protects your identity when you shop, buy and bank online
• Ensures your PC always runs at peak performance
• Backs up your files automatically so you never lose important data

Norton 360 Version 3.0 is a comprehensive software suite that eliminates the need for any additional security, performance optimization and data backup and restore products providing a hassle-free user experience.  It includes the strengths of Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware for online threat protection and powerful features similar as those of Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition for backing up your data securely as well as continuously optimizing your PC for peak performance. These features can be accessed through an easy-to-use, streamlined user interface, another strong point that differentiates Norton 360 Version 3.0 from the competition.

Includes

Norton 360 Version 3.0 Premier Edition Includes:

• Antivirus
• Antispyware
• Email scanning
• Antiphishing
• Rootkit detection
• Identity protection
• Web site authentication
• Network monitoring
• Firewall protection
• Automatic backup and restore
• 25 GB secured online storage
• PC performance tuneups
• Automatic updates
• Embedded support
• Optional antispam and parental controls
• Single license supports up to 3 computers

Norton 360 Version 3.0 has several important improvements:

• First and foremost, by integrating improvements similar as those found in Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware and Norton Internet Security 2009, Norton 360 Version 3.0 is lighter on system resources so your computer is fully protected without being slowed down. This means you never have to sacrifice performance for security.
• Norton 360 Version 3.0 now integrates Norton Pulse Updates: it automatically checks for new virus definitions every 5 to 15 minutes and downloads them in the background for continuous protection without performance sacrifices.
• It also integrates Norton Insight: this new community intelligence-driven technology from Symantec contributes in a large part to the quicker scan times. It flags as 'trusted' common files that do not change over time, thus eliminating the need to scan them regularly. On the other hand, files that are more at risk are checked every time.
• Norton 360 Version 3.0 now protects you against botnets to prevent hackers from taking control of your PC and accessing your private information.
• Norton Safe Web is a browser protection feature that identifies search results as good, bad, or iffy, with simple green, red, and yellow icons. To further help users identify safe shopping websites while conducting online searches, it rates them on three criteria: a legitimate business, a valid privacy policy, and secure transactions.
• Your important files are always protected from loss: they are automatically backed up when your PC is idle, so backups won’t slow you down when you are in the middle of a resource-intensive task.
• A new feature also speeds up your PC boot time by turning off unnecessary startup programs, so your PC gets up and running faster.

Product Features

Norton 360 Version 3.0 has 3 core functions:

Online Threat Protection
First things first, Norton 360 Version 3.0 offers state-of-the-art PC protection from all types of online threats:

• Norton 360 Version 3.0 has all the security features of Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware. That means around the clock protection against viruses, spyware, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits and more.
• It adds a powerful, intelligent two-way firewall for protection against hackers and make sure your personal data doesn’t leave your computer without your consent.
• It also has a strong anti-phishing feature that analyzes web page structure to understand whether or not an attempt is made to steal confidential information as you input it into forms.
• Norton Identity Safe is another data safeguard that stores your sensitive, personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers in a secure vault and automatically retrieves it when needed by a legitimate website. This means you are protected against keylogger programs because you don't need to type-in your login information where it is required on websites.
• Network Monitoring shows you a map of your network and the various devices connected to it. You can view the security status of the Norton products installed on the network and you get alerted if you attempt to connect to an unsecured wireless network.
• Via an add-on pack you can benefit from Parental Control, a feature that lets you decide what websites your children can go visit when they are online.

PC Performance Optimization
But where other products stop, Norton 360 Version 3.0 keeps on going: it offers more than just online security, keeping your PC in top shape by doing the following, quietly in the background:

• Automatically fixes common PC problems
• Gets rid of unnecessary Internet clutter and temporary files.
• Removes stale Windows registry entries.
• Defragments your hard drive(s) for faster data writing and access.

Automatic Data Backup and Restore
Finally, have you ever worried that one day, you could lose all the data stored on your computer? Again, Norton 360 Version 3.0 brings you peace of mind with its solid data backup and restore features. Your precious files such as photos, music, contacts and financial documents can be backed up automatically to CDs, DVDs or external drives. You even have the option to backup to high-capacity Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs and/or your own online storage space (its default size is 2 GB but you have the option to purchase more).

Whether you are adding new files or editing existing ones, Norton 360 Version 3.0 will detect what has changed and make the necessary backups without any intervention on your part. Moreover, your files are backed up automatically when your PC is idle so you are not disturbed while working, surfing the web or playing games.
